These past couple of weeks have been a little wild. Here are some highlights
-made a tent for FHE. And then we all read King Benjamin's speech over video chat while we all sat in our tents
-made breakfast for the sisters today!!
-our friend finished the children's Book of Mormon and now she wants to read the real one with us!!! We also invited her to be baptized and she said she will pray about it!!!
-all our other friends are doing good!!!
-in March when we could still go out, we met this guy who was interested. We exchanged contact information, but he never picked up when we called. Well, this last week we texted him and now we have been teaching him!
-ALSO A HUGE HIGHLIGHT IT WAS SO AWESOME. So. Our mission president told us that we could order pizza now. Well, when we first got into quarantine. I kept telling Sister Shay that I wanted to eat blaze pizza. Specifically with goat cheese. Well when our mission president announced that, me and Sister Shay were like, "blaze pizza! Blaze pizza! Blaze pizza!" And so then like the next day, we were going to, but then didn't have money on our card. Oh well. But, on Thursday at 4:30pm, someone knocked on our door, and Sister shay jumped up and whipped the door open and pulled out 2 BLAZE PIZZA BOXES WHAT EVEN?!?!?! and I was like WHAT. WHY DO WE HAVE BLAZE PIZZA??? And Sister shay was just laughing so hard and then we were both laughing. Apparently that morning she asked her parents to call blaze pizza and order pizza to our apartment. Ahahaha she told me that all day she had such a hard time focusing because she was thinking about suprising me. Ah I have THE BEST companion. Going on transfer 4 with her now!!!!!
To close, here is a spiritual thought!!! Soooo, missionaries have been working from the apartments since about march now. So about 2 months now. And so what have I learned? Okay that was a poor question because I've learned lots of things. But the lesson I want to share today is from Elder Bednar's talk this last conference. He said, "Our hearts—the sum total of our desires, affections, intentions, motives, and attitudes—define who we are and determine what we will become." As we work from our apartments, it's so easy for me to get catch up if we're working hard enough, if we're teaching enough, and sometimes the thought of not teaching or not being effective or not helping missionaries stress me out. But this week I had an experience during a lesson when Sister Shay shared a scripture and an overwhelming feeling of why I decided to come out in the first place came over me. I felt so much love from God, that I was doing His work. And so I decided to continually try to work from my heart and doing missionary work from the heart. And honestly, that calms my soul sooooo still out here in LA and still loving missionary work!!✌
Okay I love you all!!!!!! And God loves each one of you!!!!
Also, my dad tells me that whenever I take pictures I open my mouth. True or false?
